Seutonius’s infantry crossed to Anglesey on a flotilla of flat bottom boats. The cavalry forded and swam across at their horses’ side. With slingshots, druid women hurled fireballs, rags soaked in pitch and lighted, at the boats. But the Romans made there way on shore and burned down huts, temples, even the trees, and slew the druids. There were survivors who made their way to the mountains where the Celts kept the old ways for many centuries to come.

Seutonius then led his army back to the main isle to crush Boudicca’s rebellion. He made his way to London before her. Looking over the town he decided he didn’t have enough men with him to protect it. So he rode out taking those who could keep up with him, leaving the women, children, and elderly behind. While the Governor gathered troops, Boudicca burned London then stopped to celebrate and worship the gods in thanksgiving for her victories. This gave Seutonius time to pick the battlefield.

Boudicca’s army met Seutonius’s on a plain at the edge of a forest near a narrow gorge by Walting Street. She rallied her warriors with a speech, "win the battle or perish, that is what I, a woman will do; you men can live in slavery if that is what you want." With the Celtic wagons of women and children at the back, her army rode and ran onto the battlefield. The plain narrowed so the Celts were trapped with the wagons to the back so they couldn’t retreat. Without room for the Celts to wield their long swords, the Romans made use of short daggers, stabbing the Celts one by one in the stomach. The Celts were massacred.

Boudicca and her daughters poisoned themselves to prevent capture. The Romans searched for Boudicca’s body but she was never found. However, there is an unfounded legend that Boudicca’s bones lie beneath platform nine at King Cross station in London. This train station was made famous by the Harry Potter books, where the boy wizard takes the train from platform nine and three-quarters to go to Hogswarts each year.

Seutonius took no prisoners. Every Celt on the field was killed, including all the women and children, even all the horses and animals. The isle stayed under the firm hand of Rome until it withdrew all troops from Britain in 407 AD.
